Fishnet Stockings was absolutely the best red I've ever seen. I don't know why favorites are always discontinued. I have not worn it that a person or persons has not complimented me on it and asked what it was. I am very upset that it is no longer availaable.

One of my favorite Essie polishes

2 years ago
Love this polish. the formula is super smooth and easy to apply and it's such a gorgeous color. Even though it's a little bright it has a richness it it that makes it extremely wearable. I wouldn't say it's in the red family, it's more a deep fushia. I feel like it would compliment a variety of skintones. I call this my polly pocket nailpolish. It reminds me of the color that would be on my polly pocket doll's nails haha. The finish is super glossy too. When you add top coat it looks like a gel polish. Definitely in my top 10 essie polishes.

lovely red!

5 years ago
this is a really creamy, rich red - it’s not too bright and is definitely blue rather than yellow toned, so for my cool skin that is very flattering. the formula is really easy to work with and it stays on with a good quality top coat.

yes, I recommend this product.

What was I thinking?

6 years ago
I feel like this has been in my stash unused for quite a while, or never used. I put it on today because it's a great summer to fall color. It covers well and looks fun and professional at the same time. I imagine it would pair nicely with a Lilacism or another pale lavender mani. I only buy Essie.

My go to red!

This is the most beautiful red nail polish shade. It’s deep, reach, creamy, and not too dark to look brown or black. The texture and brush make it easy to put on. The ultimate dark red nail polish.

yes, I recommend this product.

Ravishing Red!!!!

7 years ago
I first came across this color during one of my usual Essie Nail Lacquer impulse buys! I bought over ten bottles of Essie nail polish that day! It is such a ravishing shade! It is a very deep, sensual red that I fell in love with immediately and just HAD to have! I love wearing it anytime and anywhere, but especially with my dresses and more sophisticated outfits. It lasts a very long time on my nails, anywhere from a week to two weeks, especially when I pair it with a coat of Essie Gel Setter Top Coat! Out of the more than 50 bottles of Essie Nail Lacquer I have, this color is up there with my most favorite shades! I take very good care of my natural nails, and this shade always makes them stand out and receive MANY compliments!

yes, I recommend this product.

Great pink purple almost magnet

10 years ago
This is one of my favorite colors. I hadn't worn it in a while and I re did my nails with this color and I love them. This color is perfect for transition from summer colors to fall. It's bright enough to be a summer color but the purple hue in it makes it deep enough to be a fall color. It goes on opaque in 2 coats.

yes, I recommend this product.

Lovely color!

I'm not usually a fan of red nail polishes, but I am addicted to this one! I like that it isn't a "bright apple red" like so many other nail polishes. It is darker, but not so dark that it looks black or brown. It is a perfect fall/winter red, and I will definitely be wearing it a lot! It is a great formula, and you could use one coat if you were in a rush, but two makes it that much more prettier!

yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful, stunning color

I got this polish about three months ago, I have already painted my nails with it four times. It's my go-to magenta. The color and formula is flawless, wear time is about 3-4 days (which is really good for me, since most brands chip the next day).

yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful very deep red, perfect for fall. This color makes me feel sophisticated, grown up, and wicked all at once. Lovely formula, it's smooth and you can get away with one coat because it has great opacity but a second coat deepens the color.

yes, I recommend this product.
